More and more riders are singing the praises of silicone grips thanks to the efforts of brands like Red Monkey and ESI. Even so, there are still those out there that prefer the convenience and holding power of a lock on. Since having options is always good, Red Monkey is putting the Klampz to their silicone with their first lock on grip. The silicone lock-ons offer all the performance you love of the original Red Monkey Grips, only with a little extra hardware…
Earlier this year during Sea Otter, we got a first look at the new grips which use a dual locking mechanism. The silicone still offers the same grippy, weather resistant, and vibration deadening feel as their non lock on grips, but they now install and remove with ease. Meant for all standard 22.2mm mountain handlebars, the grips measure 130 mm long. The price for the added convenience shows on the scale, but the grips are still impressively light at 58 g per side including the end cap.
Available in multiple colors, initially the grip itself will be offered in black, blue, bright green, and white silicone, though red, purple, orange, and brown grips are on the way. Additionally, the grips will be available with your choice of black, red, blue, green, purple, or silver locking collars. Sold with a red anodized Allen key, Red Monkey Klampz lock on grips will retail for $28.
